The students' film forum is back. After a successful first edition on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the freiburg film forum we again invite filmmakers of the next generation to discuss their work with our audience.

The freiburg film forum's program encompasses current productions from Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania as well as retrospectives of important filmmakers and issues. What began in 1985 as a festival of ethnographic films has since grown to become one of the most significant forums for intercultural dialogue through the medium film. The festival's workshop-like character and intimate atmosphere lend it a special intensity and enable the type of discussions valued by filmmakers from all over the world.

The students' section seizes on the festival's forum concept. We offer a platform for first and final works to intensively discuss the variety of methods and angles of up-and-coming film makers in reaction to cultural and sociopolitical issues.

We invite you to attend the festival and we look forward to an exciting students’ film forum,
